May 4, the third year of Zhongping, Luoyang, Imperial Palace, Deyang Palace.

Emperor Han Ling squatted on the dragon seat, stretched out his right hand in front of his gaping mouth, and yawned widely. Suddenly, above the main hall, hundreds of officials were infected, and yawns continued.

Emperor Han Ling waved his hand impatiently.

Zhang Rang shook off the dust, walked out and said, "If you have something to ......do, you will play early in class." ”

"Minister He Jin, there is a book!" I saw He Jin walk out with a heavy face.

Zhang Rang was secretly angry, and said in his heart that you are a pig killer, and you will be very powerful if you have a little power, and you will come out before you have finished shouting in this palace. Sooner or later, there will be a day when you want to look good.

Liu Hong rubbed his buttocks on the dragon seat, and after straightening up, he beckoned: "What's the matter with the general?" ”

He Jin was even heavier and said: "Yesterday, there was a battle report, Yuan Benchu was defeated in Yanmen County, and he lost 30,000 ...... soldiers. ”

When the hundred officials heard it, their faces changed in unison, and for a while, the cold air in the hall overflowed, and the temperature dropped by three, four, or five degrees in an instant.

"What! If you lose, can such a combination also lose? Emperor Han Ling's face turned pale at that time and he jumped up.

Zhang Rang was clever, and felt that the opportunity to avenge his son had come, and he immediately whispered from the side: "Yuan Benchu misled the country, and the 30,000 army was destroyed in one fell swoop, so the mountains and rivers are not protected, and if you don't kill, you can't set an example!" ”

"The mountains and rivers are not guaranteed!" The emperor was most afraid of hearing this word, and after hearing this, Emperor Han Ling was furious, his face was hideous, and he immediately shouted: "Come on, pass the edict, Yuan Benchu, in front of the army, cut it off!" ”

"And Qin Zijin." Zhang Rang whispered.

"And Qin Zijin!" Emperor Han Ling shouted.

"And Cao Mengde." Zhang Rang whispered again.

"And Cao Mengde!" Emperor Han Ling said angrily.

"And a lot of ringworm!"

"And a lot of ringworm!" In short, Zhang Rang said a word, and the angry Emperor Han Ling learned a sentence.

"In short, all beheadings, no one will be left!" Emperor Han Ling finally had his claim and said angrily.

Zhang Rangle blossomed, and said in his heart that he could be regarded as catching your three young and one eagle dog in the capital.

The hundred officials were frightened. Situ Wang Yun was the first to jump out and shouted, "Your Majesty, you can't kill it, kill it all." Who's going to war? ”

yes, who fights?

When the hearts of the hundred officials were frightened, Emperor Han Ling was also stunned. Baiguan saw Liu Hong's hair, and Zhang Rang smiled. They all secretly scolded the faint king. The heart said that you can simply kill us all, Your Majesty, you can live with the ten permanent servants. See if the Han family is torn apart, whether the country is broken!

He Jin looked at Zhang Rang coldly, and couldn't wait to drag it down and wash it cleanly and slaughter the stewed braised pork, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty." The minister hasn't finished yet. ”

Emperor Han Ling licked his face and said, "What else does the general have to say?" ”

"Here's the thing." So, He Jin was in the court and said what Qin Feng had prepared, and he finally said: "In this way, in this way, Yuan Ben fainted for a while after the arrow, and he was unable to command the battle. Our army lost dispatch for a short time, and the Huns took the opportunity to counterattack. But fortunately, Qin Zijin and others rose up and finally repelled the Huns. ”

"I see." Emperor Han Ling sat back on the dragon throne.

He Jin hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, such a thing." It's really an accident, this can't be killed, can it? ”

Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty nodded and said, "Yuan Benchu fought bravely to kill the enemy, but he was hit by mistake, since he fainted and could not command the army, and I am not an unreasonable person, how can I kill him." ”

The hundred officials breathed a sigh of relief together.

And Zhang Rang grinned for a while, very depressed for failing to clean up Qin Feng and the others.

He Jin said again: "At that time. The battle was difficult and dangerous, but fortunately, General Qin was not afraid of danger, stepped forward, and led the crowd to repel the Huns. It should be rewarded. ”

"Yes, it should be rewarded." Emperor Han Ling said.

"And what's the reward?" He Jin asked.

"yes, what's the reward?" Emperor Han Ling asked rhetorically.

He Jin's face darkened, and his heart said that you are the emperor, you ask me?

Emperor Han Ling suddenly realized, and suddenly felt a pain in his flesh. It turned out that Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, liked money. Stingy, whatever he rewards, he will be in pain. However, when people fought him in front, he couldn't help but reward him, and he said in his heart: "Even so, Qin Aiqing doesn't like money, so he will seal him as a "holding festival", and instead of the injured Yuan Aiqing, he will command the Huns to be requisitioned. ”

When the officials heard this, they said in their hearts that Qin Beast didn't like money? In this Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, Qin Beast likes money the most.

Baiguan remembered that when Emperor Han Ling celebrated his birthday, he lost to Qin Feng by more than 2 million guan at one time, and immediately shouted that he couldn't stand it.

But Emperor Ling of Han also liked money, so he was reluctant to reward money and food. However, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was also very "generous" and gave Qin Feng the right to hold the festival.

There are three kinds of festivals: "making festivals" the first, "holding the festival" second, and "false festivals" being the bottom. The "envoy" must kill less than 2,000 stones. "Holding the festival" kills people without official positions, if it is military, it is the same as the envoy. "False Festival" is only for military personnel to kill those who violate military orders.

The festival here is a kind of banner thing that represents the imperial power, just like the sword of the later generations.

The appearance of the knot is a stick with wisps of golden pendants and other things hanging on it. That is, in the Peking Opera of later generations, as soon as the official appeared, he stood with a stick full of tassels in his hand. At first glance, it looks like a horsewhip, but it is actually a rune.

At this time, Zhang Rang came to Emperor Ling of Han and said, "Your Majesty, no matter what, Yuan Benchu was defeated, and there were no more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, but how to continue to conquer the Xiongnu?" ”

"yes, how?" Emperor Han Ling asked.

Zhang Rangxin said Your Majesty, don't ask me, he pursed his mouth and motioned for a general below.

As a result, Emperor Han Ling's face became gloomy, "Bad luck, such a thing happened, although it was not a human factor, but after all, it was defeated." The Huns are powerful, generals, how is it good? ”

In fact, He Jin was also very annoyed by Yuan Shao's defeat, but as Emperor Ling of Han said, bad luck is not a human factor. However, later, the human factor of Qin Feng and others came up and repelled the Xiongnu.

He Jin had already thought about it, and said: "You can transfer 10,000 people from the five schools of the Northern Army and the Changshui Captain Department to go to the state to support." ”

The fifth school of the Northern Army, Yuan Shao took away the three captains of the Tun Cavalry, Shooting Sound, and Yue Cavalry, but as a result, the meat buns beat the dogs and did not return, and the whole army was wiped out. In today's annexed states, only Qin Feng's former generals and Cao Cao's rear generals remain, as well as the remnants of the army, totaling 15,000 people.

Another one is transferred out here, and there is only one left in the capital. Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty was a little unable to sit still. Said: "General, go here, can you ...... Can you win? If you can't win, you won't be able to control the Huns. ”

He Jin's eyebrows jumped. He suddenly gained confidence and said loudly: "With Qin Zijin in charge, he will definitely win." ”

When the officials heard it, they pondered. Although they were not lightly harmed by the Qin Beast, this came from the fact that the Qin Beast was too capable of fighting. And so. Hundreds of officials said one after another: "Yes, yes, General Qin will definitely win." ”

Another humane: "General Qin has never lost." ”

"Never lost?" Emperor Han Ling suddenly relaxed.

As a result, the hundred officials, including Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, only regarded Qin Feng as the great savior of "saving the field", and the court fully operated for the conquest of the Xiongnu. The holy decree, reinforcements, and logistical support left the capital of the Han Dynasty in a steady stream and went to the state.

Emperor Han Ling, He Jin and others were eager for Qin Feng to win this war, if they knew, the three young men in the capital led by Qin Feng would fool the entire imperial court. I'm afraid that it will not be reinforcements that will be sent, but captured soldiers and horses.

If there is a map of luck, you can see that the luck of the Eastern Han Dynasty is even more fragmented.

On the other hand, the state, Yanmen County, the Xiongnu gathering area.

In the king's tent, the Huns were happy.

Yu Fuluo, the eldest son of the Xiongnu king Qiangqu, said: "Father, the official army has been completely disabled by us. Now the turtle is cowering in the barracks outside Jinyang City and does not come out. The child proposed to go to Jinyang with a large army, break the official army, and capture Qin Cao, Yuan and Liu alive. ”

Yu Fuluo's son Liu Bao said: "That's it. If the state enters our hands, we will be able to compete with the Han Dynasty and become a country of its own! ”

When the Huns heard this, they were overjoyed.

However, Qiang Qu was very steady, and said, "Don't be carried away by a momentary victory. If you attack at this time, you must attack the fortress and the city. Garrison of officers and soldiers. And our army gave up the mobility advantage of the rangers, which is to use their own shortcomings and attack the enemy's strengths! ”

Everyone was taken aback, and immediately said: "We are stupid, we almost made the mistakes of our ancestors, and the king is strategizing, and we can't wait." ”

The second son, Hu Chuquan, said, "Father, then, what should we do? ”

Qiang Qu rose from the throne, "You can write a war book and make an appointment to fight Yuan Benchu in the grassland!" ”

A quick horse, and went out.

On the side of the official army, Jinyang City, Thorn Mansion.

Yuan Dashuai, lying high in the hall, everyone else is kneeling, he is lying on his back and straightening his legs, and the root of his right leg and thigh is tied with a white bandage. He sighed in his heart for a while, and said in his heart that Qin Zi is really ruthless when he enters you, this arrow goes down, and the hole in the bowl is hit.

And Ding Yuan thought: Yuan Benchu was ruthless enough, and he was also ruthless to himself, in order to avoid responsibility, he really did it.

Liu Bei's big ears fanned, and he said in his heart that depending on the location, it was just a little bit, and he was a eunuch, which was a pity.

How did they know that this was not Yuan Shao's hand, he really couldn't do it, it was Qin Feng who stabbed the maid.

At this time, Qin Feng admired Yuan Shao very much, after all, without Yuan Shao's consent, he couldn't stab him. If it was Qin Feng himself, he would never do such a self-harming thing.

Yuan Shao leaned on the soft couch, raised the bamboo slip, and said: "The Huns have issued a war letter, and they have asked us to fight a decisive battle, what do you think?" ”

After Yuan Shao's defeat, there were about 15,000 people left in the 50,000 official army, and they fought with 30,000 Xiongnu iron cavalry, and there was no need to think about this matter at all.

Ding Yuan touched his beard and said, "General Yuan, judging from the old man's many years of experience, let's wait until the news from the imperial court comes back before making plans." ”

Ding Yuan's proposal was approved by everyone, so Yuan Shao hung up the exemption card and did not fight.

However, Qiangqu, the king of the Xiongnu, saw that Yuan Shao was afraid of battle, but he did not stand still, but took advantage of the shrinking of the official army and sent a large number of cavalry troops to attack everywhere and plunder the place.

For a time, the land of the state was full of iron hoof prints of the Huns. Too many people fled to Jinyang City to seek refuge.

Ding Yuan did not let the refugees enter the city, and tens of thousands of people, crying and shouting, stayed outside Jinyang City.

The people of Bingzhou came to Jinyang in distress, thinking that after coming to the seat of the state capital, they would be able to get the protection of the imperial court. I didn't expect to be allowed to enter the city, not to mention, there are no rescue measures.

In the midst of the suffering, the people were extremely disappointed with the court to the extreme. In the midst of the grief of the people, they felt that the future was dark, and it was already a certain death.

However, with a shout, the people suddenly found light in the darkness.

"General Qin is in the barracks."

"General Qin is the great savior in the hearts of the people of the world!"

"The court is unjust, but General Qin is benevolent, let's go and ask General Qin!"

An hour later, outside Jinyang City, the military camp, the big tent of the Chinese army.

Ding Yuan walked in with Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, and said, "General Yuan, why are you calling me urgently?" ”

Yuan Shao was very embarrassed, pointed at Qin Feng, and said, "This pre-military discussion was initiated by General Qin. ”

After a while, Ding Yuan refused to help the people outside the city on the grounds that the government treasury was insufficient. And in the name of entering the city, there will be riots, and the people who are in distress are not allowed to enter the city.

And Yuan Shao refused to take out military rations to rescue the people on the grounds that he was unable to protect himself.

Qin Feng looked at Ding Yuan and Yuan Shao's bureaucratic faces, and was angry, he slapped the table and said angrily: "Since you don't save you when you see death, I will save you!" ”

Everyone looked at each other in embarrassment.

Liu Bei's big ears fanned, and he said in his heart that there were almost twenty or thirty thousand people outside, and the state and state capitals couldn't save it, can you Qin Zijin afford to save it? (To be continued.) )
